Sickems

I'm a sickems.

At least I am this weekend. 

I have a cold....in the summer. And yes it sucks as much as you think it does! I've left my house once all weekend because NWSL tickets aren't refundable.....and I wasn't missing a game any flipping way!

I go to see the Washington Spirit every home game and I'm really proud of my team. Last night Ashlyn had a few huge saves in goal and kept us in the game. Crystal scored a hat trick and won the game for us. Jojo, our resident boylady, was managing the midfield like a boss. The point of attack was switched well by our back line, under the direction of Ashlyn. Uncharacteristically, but totally allowed, Ashlyn took a throw in. It was great soccer. The Plex was packed which is good for the sport and I hope to see that many people at our next home game but I'm sure that a Wednesday game is tougher for people to make it to. These Saturday games are great for families and working folks to make it to. 

I was all medicated up so I could enjoy the game. I'm gonna grab a few lectures this afternoon so I can get caught up since we completely skipped lecture since it wasn't on the quizzes and didn't even look at the material yet -___- 

The kids are still great. I'm definitely happy I kept my job because I love it. I'm glad I don't have kids yet, but being able to kick it with them a few hours every week is definitely fun! The kids make sure I don't take myself too seriously :-) They also make me more efficient. I know I've got limited time aka nap time, to get my studying in and I think it helps me prioritize. 

I temporarily joined a study group but I'm glad I quit because I don't think it was a good fit. I think my schedule and my personality lead to more individualized study but I'm good with right before the test study groups. That's what we did for these quizzes. I can review daily when its convenient and I've got commitments other folks don't have so I'm not just free because we don't have lecture. 

I'm getting kid time, gym time/soccer watching, studying, good nutrition....I'm super pleased with my management of the first couple weeks of medical school. 

Now if only we could get our money.....
